Safe Kids Grand Forks Fire Safety Reminders

October is National Fire Safety Month, and Safe Kids Grand Forks is sharing ways that you can help keep you and your family safe if a fire were to take place. Carma Hanson of Safe Kids Grand Forks says the most deadly aspect of a fire is the smoke, and she shares a simple, but effective way that could protect you from smoke if a house fire were to occur. 

Hanson says knowing your house’s safe outs are also an important aspect of fire safety, and she says you should teach each member of your family safe outs, because you may not always be able to reach them in a fire. 

Finally, Hanson says the most crucial thing you can do as a homeowner is to have working fire alarms spread throughout your house, and keep them maintained.
